How to set the position of view with vizconnect

[apenngrace]

Hi, at Villanova University we are using Vizard to create content to show students. When working in the Vizard desktop version, we use viz.go() to get the rendering started and we can change the starting viewpoint with commands like:

view = viz.MainView
view.setPosition([x, y, z])

In our CAVE facility (3 walls and 2 floor surfaces) we start the rendering with vizconnect and a configuration file. However, the vizconnect object does not have a MainView object to reference and manipulate.

What is the right way to change the starting view position and orientation when using vizconnect?

Thanks for your help,
Andrew
